THESE FIRST DAYS............... After three months of leisure, we start back to the little red school house to finish our last semester in high school. We immediately notice a few changes. Everywhere you go, you see new faces. (Say! I'll have to get acquainted with her!), new teachers, and, of course, some of your old pals again. The first day, your home room teacher hands you a little white piece of cardboard, commonly called a schedule. Here is where you either smile or groan; but regardless, you decide to make the best of things for this last semester. The second day you are late in the morning and play hookey in the afternoon. Now you're getting into the swing of things and be- gin to think school isn't so bad after all. Our football team has been practicing for a couple of weeks and is now ready to take on their first opponent. This year the boys trot onto the field thrillingly arrayed in flashy orange, blue, and white uniforms, and begin a wonderful season with a vic- tory. GETTING FOOTBALL AND ACQUAINTED SUCH...... By now, all of the A Sen to enjoy school, and some of them are just a little, how they are ever going to without it second semester. But why think Next comes the MAGNET Staff's screwy play, RADIO AT ITS WORST, which really goes over with a bang. We reap the harvest in an avalanche of sub- scriptions, and in between times wrack our brains trying to get out our first issue. We survive that, only to be plunged i outs for the Senior play. Everybody has a and Miss Montgomery succeeds cel lent cast. E LAST DAYS By this time a good part of the semester is over and everybody is runrWHg around in circles. About the only flld that dercfibes an A Senior when he goes past gf-s yjls-s-s-siy There is something doing all the Vgets any sleep, but nobody wants y. The football season is over and son is starting, the Senior Play is time is drawing to a close. The Sen- as gone to press, and the A Senior rebu§y with their duties. Our class- ed at length, and we now Graduation. First comes the herfi follow Baccalaureate, Class and Farewell in rapid suc- cession. Our’ tMjJPsiireers end with the Prom, whfuh comes on Brie last day of school. After this w0 JR,ke our place in life with happy thoughts of d times we had in school. an W E HRU GUIDANCE All through our school career our lives are directed and influenced by loyal members of the faculty, who are striv- ing to aid us in all ways possible. GAIN WISDOM We obtain a better knowledge of the problems of life so that we will be able to judge wisely when difficult situations arise. WE FIND COMPANIONSHIP We learn how to get along with people and in this way we secure friends whom we shall remember and cherish always. WE GAIN VICTORIES We gain victories not only in the field of sports, but also in the game of life. In both cases we learn how to be a good loser as well as a good winner. WE LEARN TO LIVE BETTER We learn to direct our lives in the path that a good Christian should, and we learn to be good citizens of a democracy of which we are proud. LET US PAUSE AND PAY TO W. B. HERRON OUR SINCERE COUNSELOR AND FRIEND WHO OPENED FOR US THE DOORS OF SCIENCE INSPIRING IN US A SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE TOWARD LIFE FOSTERING IN US A DESIRE TO SEARCH AND RE-SEARCH FOR TRUTH TEACHING US THE VALUE OF BEING TOLERANT OF FACTS IN THE REALM OF SCIENCE AND OF THE OPINIONS OF OTHERS IN A CHAOTIC WORLD TO ONE WHO HIMSELF EXEMPLIFIES THESE IDEALS THE CLASS OF JANUARY, 1941 RESPECTFULLY DEDICATES THE SENIOR MAGNET TRIBUTE TO OUR FRIEND. WILNER B. HERRON High School Hays Anne Mason Freshmen, those shy little souls, Retiring and bashful and meek; Each with a strongly set purpose Some day to rise to the peak. Humbly they enter Old High School, Much weaker, much greener than wise, Enchanted with dreams of the future, Not shrinking, no matter what size. Sophomore year is the next mile to tread On the road to the goal of success. Plodding along on that rough, stony trail, How their dreams seem to grow less and less! On this hard path the quitters, the timid, the weak Melt away as the stronger go by; Only the hearts that determine to win Remain here to do or to die. Ever onward and upward, one step at a time— they will succeed bye and bye. Juniors we are, and how proud we now feel, Unchecked, undefeated, half through! Never give up, no, never turn back In our efforts—the goal is in view! Once again one by one we now shoulder our load, Resuming our trek down that difficult road. Senior at last is our title, possessed, Entering onto that last mile of test; None but the fittest remain in the fight, Imbued with success, the goal all alight. Out of Old High School we now proudly go. Reveling in that joy only graduates know. Butler Senior High School Roy W. Wiley, Superintendent, Grove City, B. S., University of Pittsburgh, A. M. ond Ed.

Wiley, Superintendent To the Class of January, 1941: I am pleased to have this opportunity to extend my congratulations and best wishes to the members of the class of January, 1941. You are leaving high school at a time when conditions throughout the world are very unsettled and uncertain. This uncertainty and the present challenge to civilization and religion require that you give unselfishly of your talents in the service of your God and country through doing to the best of your ability the tasks that are before you. Your success will depend largely upon your willingness to accept conditions as they are, your desire to be guided by high principles and ideals, and your thoroughness in per- forming the work you are privileged to do. ROY W. WILEY To the Members of the Class of January, 1941: We who have had a part in your educational prepara- tion during the past four years have followed your progress with interest and concern. We recognize in you the poten- tialities of success, likewise the germs of failure. The exis- tence of these opposites prompts us to emphasize the prom- ises for achievement and to plead with you to be faithful to the best which the school has given you. Congratulations and best wishes is our parting greet- ing to you. May you meet difficulties with ardor and fortitude; experience advancement with humility; and enjoy the bless- ings of the American way of life in the spirit of loyalty and gratitude. JOHN D. ANDERSON John D. Anderson, Principal cuss advisers Mr. Miller Miss Black Mr. Herron We seniors owe a debt, a debt of gratitude, to our faculty advisers. To fully discharge this debt is most surely beyond the power of mere words. Even through close association with you, we have glimpsed but a vague and misty view of the responsibilities you must bear and the patience that must be yours. We looked to you for guidance, for train- ing and for inspiration; and we looked not in vain. As we look backward now we see what per- haps we failed to understand in our daily asso- ciation with you. We appreciate now the ad- vice we needed, so freely given by you; the figurative pat on the shoulder; the spoken word of encouragement; and the challenge to our will to do our best. Dormant abilities through your incentive have been uncovered, and ambitions have been stimulated. During our years of association with you we have collected memories that will serve as a reservoir of pleasure so long as we live and wherever we may go. And so to you, Miss Black, Miss McClincy, Mr. Herron, Mr. Miller, Mr. Dryden, and Mr. Palmer, our high school faculty advisers, the Class of January, 1941, extends our gratitude and our best wishes for the years to come. You have given us something of yourself. May we always be worthy of it. GLIMPSES OF THE FACULTY Not blonde — but nevertheless an adept stenographer! Of course she has expert in- struction.—It's Eileen Parran clicking away at the typewriter, with Mr. Miller looking on. He's our able typing teacher, who, besides teaching classes, somehow finds time to min- gle with the students and become their friend. Why, Eileen CAN'T go wrong with directions such as that! Hand poised, all eyes on him — they're ready to begin — and you may be sure that the sounds which ensue will be pleasant ones, for Doc Dryden is the most proficient and capable music director for many a mile. His music groups grow in number every year, and his choruses have brought renown to the school. Besides doing choral work, this semes- ter he has started teaching harmony, a new course in music. We know—for we've heard those strains coming out of the music room which are surely part of an original composi- tion by a harmony student. Here we have Mr. Palmer, our very capable physics professor, showing you our new mov- ing picture machine. And he's the one to show you—for he knows everything from A to Z about these things. The machine has been used several times in chapel to bring sym- phonies to the students and is used often in the classrooms. It's a fine addition to our school. — 21 — F CII I, T V Caught!—in the art—of teaching her Eng- lish class. Yes, it's Miss Campbell at the black- board telling her forty cherubs or so what's what from the English angle. Maybe it's all about EVANGELINE or perhaps MACBETH. At any rate, we're sure those pleasant mo- ments will not be forgotten. It's dangerous business, but Mr. Love seems to have it all under control in examining the wasp's nest. In biology we learned to know the plants and flowers, the fish, insects, birds, animals—just EVERYTHING from A to Z— for Mr. Love is a grand teacher. Hard at work, but at such nice work—Miss Jamison, our able adviser, reading MAGNET copy. This is the task which is quite pleasant, because when we are ready for that, all the material for Ye Booke has been handed in, and everything's ship-shape, and all set to go— and, oh well—you know. It's an A Senior English class being taught by Miss Bartley! A Senior English—the hard, but fascinating semester when we got Shelley and Guinevere, and Burn's louse and Words- worth all mixed up — until Miss Bartley straightened them out. That MAGNET ques- tionnaire in the background happened to be on the board most appropriately, for the MAC- NET HAUNTS Miss Bartley. I T IT IIII k Omnia Callis est divisa in —Miss Hepler demonstrating some of her ancient Latin. How well we remember those Gallic Wars, Caesar's Campaigns, not to speak of those conjunctions and declensions. Let's see—iau- dus, laudc—oops! Well, it's a subject well worth while—so let's give credit to the most difficult and brain-sharpening of them all! And here we have Miss Black teaching— you've guessed it—algebra. Take a number from 1 to 10. Now add a, b, and c, and if it comes out x, you have it. Something like that. Or if it isn't right, Miss Black will help you if you have tried. She's reading and her helpers seem most attentive. Miss McGlincy, our famed English teacher, who makes even those themes and tests and things seem pleasant. Her radiant smile is a joy to behold. The ravishing face you see is that of Liz- zie. And here she has the good fortune to have as her escort, Mr. Nicholas. His biology has made de bugs an' de boids seem really attractive to us. Even poking around at those pickled grasshoppers wasn't so bad. To a High School Class Hero in America There is nothing quite like it Anywhere else in the world today. Here we are, sons and daughters of all The warring nations of Europe; Yet we do not hate each other. We share the same chemistry manual, And sing in the same beautiful chorus, And play our hearts out together On the football field. Our eyes shine With the same light when we see the flag go by. For we believe here in America That this lad who sits across the aisle from us Is our brother, as infinitely precious In the eyes of the great All-Father As we ourselves. We want to live our best For a land with ideals like that. It takes citizens Who are honest and self-forgetful and brave To keep that star aflame in America today.

Attend seven meetings, Compose a long theme, Do mountains of homework— I fear I shall scream. 'Twill soon all be over. What shall I do then? Wish I were back In school again? Eileen Parran Anne Mason Evelyn Forrester Donna Marie Miller Betty Jane Forrester This collection of various and sundry arti- cles, seen here, is called somewhat inappro- priately the MAGNET Staff. Their work (?) is carried on thusly. Crash! Bang! Squish! The sounds you have just heard are Don Weisen- stein, the editor, splattering against the wall. It seems that he has just disagreed with Miss Bartley. As this proceeds Miss Critchlow barg- es into the room. She proceeds to throw the table at Pete Staples, our business manager, who is cowering against the far corner. Licking their chops, the rest of the aggregation join in the fray. Elizabeth Sharpe, Verna Hoff- man, and Dona Marie Miller, typewritists, take turns throwing their equipment at Jack Paradise, who has just weasled through the door. They claim that they cans't not spell the big words that Jack uses in his dissertations. About this time Mr. Bauer, our loyal janitor, saunters up to the room and starts removing our frosted glass windows. As fast as he takes Kermit Staaf Joan Cheeseman Kenneth Faux our windows down, Evelyn Forrester replaces them with her drawings. Joan Cheeseman now waltzes in with a collection of thugs, con- victs, and horse thieves trailing her. They are the honorable alumni who have come to talk to her personally. Janet Stewart is lounging on top of the MAGNET cupboard giving an oration on why not to exercise. Kenny Faux is circulating hot air around the room instead of MAGNETS. Betty Jane Forrester stands, reverently admiring a very fine portrait of Wendell L. Willkie, the MAGNET Staff's choice. Bill Foster is busily drawing the beautiful features of Nancy Weisenstein, who is posing on the window ledge representing a dying swan. Ann Mason has just finished mailing her 12,667,154th exchange. She has only 18,- 000,000 more to go. Eileen Parran and Kerm Staaf are fighting again because they have so much fun making up. Tsk! Tsk! Wow! Dorothy Reiber stands serenely on the MAG- NET table giving a rendition of that beautiful ballad Beat Me Daddy Eight to the Bar.' Through the smoke ladened atmosphere we see a white flag, so we know a truce has been signed. As the dust of the fray settles we see Miss Jamison planted on the MAGNET table, an air hammer in her mitts, calmly riveting her initials in the flawless mahogany top. But enough of that. Seriously, any relation to any persons living or dead is purely coinci- dental. The members of the MAGNET staff have tried to the best of their ability to put out a publication that would at least equal the standards of other years. We would like to express our appreciation to the loyal facul- ty advisers who have not only helped us in putting out this magazine, but who also have never uttered a word of complaint. And so the MAGNET Staff of January, 1941, would like to pass on its best wishes to the future journal- ists and wish to them all the success in the world.

The play was en- titled, You Can't Take It With You. The boys and girls who took the parts displayed unusual acting ability. There were no definite leads in the play, but all the characterizations were outstanding. Under the able direction of Miss Montgomery not only did the cast enjoy getting it ready but everyone worked together to turn out a memorable performance.

Not only have they shown the industry and intelligence necessary to good scholarship, but they are also very likable boys and girls. They have always been ready to explain the hard places to those of us who have found our studies a little more difficult, and they have gained the good will and friendship of all their classmates. We sincerely hope that they will be as successful in their future careers as they have been in their four years in Butler High School. In this year when Pan-American relations are occupying so large a place in the thought of our statesmen, it was very fitting that they should have chosen as their Commencement subject Our Neighbors to the South.

Let's take a look at one of the practice sessions. When the bell rings for seventh period, all loyal band members go scurrying through the halls to the auditorium. Immediately bedlam ensues as everybody starts to tune his instru- ment. The boom and rattle of the drums, the clang of the cymbals, the oompah of the bass horns, the screech of the clarinets, mixed in with the chatter of all those not otherwise engaged, gives a real atmosphere to the beginning of band practice. All the rest of the practice time is given over to hard work on difficult pieces. Over and over again they play until it is just the way Mr. Gibson wants it. Mr. Gibson is both par- ticular and inspirational. If we were book- keepers and were listing the assets for the band, we would write down first, a competent band leader, Mr. Gibson. Second, we might place good instruments, many of which are furnished by the school. Third would come musicians who are willing to spend time every day practicing. We could list heavy academic schedules as liabilities to the students, but they don't seem to mind that. The band has made good use of its opportunity and has be- come what we, the students and faculty of Butler High, would call the pride of Butler High School, an organization which deserves all the praise and laurels it receives.

Maybe you don't agree that it's a wonderful collection; for that matter maybe Mr. Dryden doesn't either; nevertheless, in spite of any bad points which that group might have, and in spite of all the trouble that their director has with them, in the end we think you will agree that they sound swell —with all due respects to the A Mixed Chorus. Not only does this group get valuable informa- tion pertaining to music, but they also enjoy Mr. Dryden's sense of humor at intervals throughout the period. The B Mixed Chorus has been fortunate this semester in receiving robes and new music for their group alone. As it is with veryone, the members of the chorus have their bad days along with their good ones, but if their patient teacher can hold out through those trying days, they will prove to be worth the worry they have caused. Although the group is very large and a little hard to keep at attention at all times, they are working together always. It truly is an honor and a great pleasure to be a member of such a group. For us, who have learned to appreciate it in Mr. Dryden's Junior Chorus, it will always be true that Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory. First Row, left to right—E. Plaisted, M. J.

CHOKES — 56 — While the A orchestra has always been well worth hearing, this year it is much better than usual. There seems to have been, in the last ten years, a revival of interest in the study of music by the rank and file of pupils in the public schools. The present orchestra is benefiting from that study. The violins are not only more numerous, but there is definite progress shown in the quality of their music. This is also true to a greater or lesser degree of the other instru- ments. The purchase of new and much needed instruments has also added to the quality of the orchestra. Orchestra rehearsal is usually a serious af- fair broken often by humorous incidents. The clarinet section under the direction of Maes- tro Keefer is probably the most annoying sec- tion of the orchestra. From this section come some of the wierdest sounds ever heard in the annals of Butler High School. But joking aside, the orchestra has learned a lot in these prac- tice sessions. And the A Senior members of the group will miss them very much, for they will have no longer the thrill of playing with others who love music as they do, and the in- spiration of an excellent director. One great weakness of the student body as a whole is the lack of musical appreciation. Let us hope in the near future some way may be found to overcome this handicap.

Have you ever chanced to pass the audi- torium during fifth period on a certain day, and become suddenly aware of lilting melodies drifting through closed doors into the corri- dor? Perhaps you wished you might stop and listen awhile, but, on second thought passed on to some task as yet undone. Why not come with me now and watch the A Mixed Chorus at work? Yes, work, but pleasant work, en- joyed by each member of the chorus and their director. Oh! Excuse me! I forgot to introduce you! I would like you to meet Mr. Dryden (fondly nicknamed Doc by the chorus. It really is easier to say than Mis-ter Dry-den, don't you think?) and the fifty members of the A Mixed Chorus, whose beaming faces appear on this page. Isn't that music they're singing now, beau- tiful? Every person who has ever sung in the Mixed Chorus knows that song. It's their theme song—BEAUTIFUL SAVIOR. Now we're going to hear HO LA LI. Merrily they sing along—wait a minute, what's up? You tenors didn't come in on time, and you basses are fla-a-t. Come on, wake up! With (IF MUSIC a nod of the head and a flourish of the baton Mr. Dryden gives the signal, and they're off once more on wings of song. Before we proceed any further, says Mr. Dryden, taking his little black note book out of his vest pocket, here is a list of the dates and places where we have to sing in the near future—Woman's Club, the Courthouse, the Tuesday Musical Club, and the Agricultural Extension Bureau. Sully, there you go talking again—what did I just say? Why you said to ah-er-uh-gosh, Mr. Dry- den, I don't know! . . . What's that they're singing now? AVE VERUM. Do you like it? It's beautiful. The music seems to float. It's hard to believe that there are fifty voices singing—it sounds like one. Do you know who said 'Music hath charms to soothe'? There is the bell ringing! I'm afraid we'd better be getting along to our next class. And so we leave the Mixed Chorus, feeling much as Wordsworth, who said: The music in my heart I bore Long after it was heard no more. — 59 A F E W STAFF MEM BEKS AT WORK Staff Artist Hard at Work (?)

THE FOOTBALL TEAM The awesome aggregation that represented our school on the gridiron this year was per- haps the greatest football team in the annals of Butler High. The boys were big, fast, tough, and very aggressive. In addition to that they were colorful, never failing to keep the crowd on the edge of their seats. Their love of the game made them greater when the going was tough. They never gave up; they played smart, heads-up football; they went in there with the idea to win, and they won. There was perhaps more drama connected with the team this year than ever before. There were many more hardships to overcome than those not intimate- ly connected with the team could ever imagine. These difficulties the boys had to work out, some collectively and some individually. They met and rose above them all. We give you a brief summary of the season as a whole. The first game was with a county rival, Zelienople. Butler won handily 27-0. It was a case of too much class; Zelienople didn't have a chance. The boys just rolled over them. The team showed then that it had power plus. In the second game of the year the team hit its peak as a unit. They played a 6-6 tie with a very tough New Castle club. It was one of the greatest games in the New Castle-But- ler series, which has a long list of great games. New Castle, by the way, has not been defeated or tied all season, other than in this game. After this start, the rest of the season was a marked success. Butler had a let-down, but had enough to brush aside an inspired Mars team, 14-0. The Golden Tornado moved on with a win over Aliquippa's Dream Team, 13-6. It was in this game that our terrific line took the play away from the backs. Aliquip- pa's only score came on two desperation passes in the last two minutes of the game when Butler's reserves were in. In the next game the (Continued on Page 79) — 62 — Jack McAnany SAM SMITH: quarterback ... as a blocker had few peers . . . very, very tough on defense . . . kept the boys continually laughing at his jokes . . .

About half of the team has been coached at the Y.M.C.A. and the whole team has the spirit to win and the spirit of cooperation. They want to win as a team and not as individual players. In their A Junior year the boys came out on top and each player was presented with a gold basketball. In order to accomplish this feat they had to win from the B Senior Class in the finals. This year the team is better than last year and will be in there fighting every minute. They are coached by Mr. Moore and with such a fine coach as he, they are bound to have an excellent team. The members of the A Senior team are: Ken Scanlon, Ken Myers, Jack Stauffer, Jack Snyder, Pete Staples, Jack Beck, Harold Cheers, Sam Hilles, Martin Cohn, and Ken Faux. We went to press before the season was well started, but we predict that in this year's inter-class season they will prove that they are the best athletic class in school. Left to Right—P. Staples, J. Snyder, K. Myers, K. Scanlon, J. Beck, J. Stauffer, H. Cheers, S. Hilles. — 65 — Girls' Glass Basketball Boy! Did we beat that team all to pieces! Why they didn't have a chance! If you hap- pened to hear exclamations such as this just after the A Senior Girls' Basketball team play- ed a game, you might trace them to the girls of that group. Now don't get excited, all you other teams; we didn't say it was ALWAYS TRUE THAT WE WON! As a matter of fact, the members of the A Senior Girls' basketball team usually said it all in fun for, although we had 100 per cent cooperation, the best possible in such a team, we had difficulty, somehow, in finding the basket. Not even in our senior year could we overawe the other class teams. They just wouldn't tremble be- fore us. In spite of, or maybe because of this, sportsmanship was an outstanding quality in all our players, for after each game all the girls, whether winners or losers, looked for- ward to the next game with the hope of win- ning but no thought of regret should they lose. If there had been any need of inspiration, which you can be sure there wasn't, Hilda Boyer, the able captain of the team, would have provided it, for she was in there fighting at every chance. No player could be praised more than any other, however, for each one worked not for individual glory, but the team as a whole; and not for the glory of winning, but for the fun of the sport.

Hockenberry FROLIC THE SENIOR The Senior Frolic, presented under the lead- ership of our Athletic Committee, certainly was one of the best we have seen in a long time. This show was decidedly different, and members of the A Senior class had a large part in the outstanding attractions. The event got off to a good start with a sound movie, THE HITCHHIKER. This picture, which was shown by means of the new equipment the high school has purchased, kept everybody rolling in the aisles. The next feature, a vocal quintet, was provided by Bill Foster, Joan Cheeseman, Charles Sullivan, Gilbert Black, and Eleanor Ann Burton. They really showed us how much talent they have by singing two popular favorites, BLUEBERRY HILL and THERE I CO. In the next part of our program, Pat Krisko, super-extra magician, kept every- body going with her keen wit, pleasing person- ality, and supernatural tricks. By the way, if you can figure out any of her tricks, come around and tell us how she does them. The next bit of entertainment was an excellent reading presented by Rose Offstein. Rose kept everybody laughing from start to finish. The next time the curtain was pulled back we were greeted with the sight of our twirlers, Betty Cean Young, Georgia Kohl, Blodwyn Dandoy, Janet Lyons, Dorothy Kaufman, and Patty Kohl. Did you say you wanted to know how to keep from growing old? Then you should have seen our jitterbugs, Bruce Say, Ruth Long, Spider Green, Jean Sollie, Helen Vaughn, and Mike Naidus going to town. If you think it's easy to do ALL of the steps they did, just try it sometime! Ah! As a climax to our show, a chorus of dazzling beauties gorgeously ar- rayed in the latest Paris creations came trip- ping onto the stage. We soon discovered that they were a bunch of boys from the A Senior class: Kenneth Faux, Dale Gibson, Martin Cohn, Jack Paradise, Jack Beck, Sam Hilles, Floyd Glass, Howard Miller, Ivan Brown, Jack Snyder, Kenny Scanlon, and Harold Cheers. After they had performed a few difficult dance steps, their specialty man, Floyd Glass, came forward and exhibited an excellent spec- imen of tap dancing. After this number Pete Staples, our versatile master of ceremonies, put the finishing touch to the program by bidding everybody a pleasant good evening. Piano accompaniment to the various musical numbers was furnished by Ray Loutzenhiser. The committee for the event deserves a lot of credit. Members of the committee were: Co- chairmen Pete Staples and Helen Vaughn; Sam Hilles, Ken Scanlon, Harold Cheers, Mary Jane Holom, Betty Stonebraker, Virginia Sni- der, and Howard Miller. We would also like to express our appreciation to our good friend Mr. Miller and to Mr. Herron and Mr. Palmer, who so ably handled the sound equipment and the movies for the show. The 1 Seniors Write My Country and I Jack Paradise As I go about my affairs in the course of a day, I take for granted many privileges and rights which the young person in a totalitari- an state today would not dare to dream of. Beginning in the morning with breakfast, I use as much butter and milk as I care to; noth- ing is rationed or limited. In history class I criticize the President and his administration freely, and I never think of endangering my parents to such a degree that they be put in concentration camps, probably never to be heard from again. I learn to think through political and other questions for myself; I do not have theories drilled into me as one would teach a child the alphabet. In the newspapers, while much of what I read is propaganda, it is that of both sides of a question, not one side only. When I listen to the radio I hear both Democrats and Republicans; even other politi- cal faiths, if I wish to. Clear, unbiased news reports may be heard at almost every hour. If I wish to go for a ride, my gasoline supply is not limited. I may buy all I want. I may pe- tition the local, state, or federal government. I may attend mass meetings and I am protect- ed by the police from any violence should I be apprehended for a crime. If arrested I would be given a fair trial and all facts per- tinent to the matter would be brought for- ward before the jury retired. I may worship Cod in any manner that I wish and I am not persecuted for any beliefs or ideals that I hold. I may print and publish what I wish, I may work for whomever I wish, and my minimum wage is set by law. In return for all these privileges and rights, I should expect to serve my country in various ways. I should get all the education I possibly can, thus making myself a more intelligent citizen and voter. When I become of age I should vote at every election on every ques- tion. I should pay all taxes willingly and real- ize that they are for the good of the country as a whole. I should report to the authorities all fifth-column activities that I might stumble upon. Should this country be invaded, I should enlist immediately in the army or some branch of the service. Should I be conscripted for a year of military service, I would go willingly for I realize the danger with which we would find ourselves confronted without an adequate army, navy, or air corps. Thus, in return for the rights which I am guaranteed by the Constitution, I should be prepared to serve my country at any time cheerfully and with a consciousness that I am only doing what is right. TO A PICTURE OF LINCOLN Joan Cheeseman Crave, quiet eyes that knew so much of pain; Oh, that they could shine with life but once again. Whose sympathetic glance and soothing light Lent to all their hope, their strength, their patience bright! What need we have, in this mad world of tumult and unrest, For understanding such as they possessed! WHAT MORE SHOULD I ASK? Emily Swai I am young; but, even now, I appreciate what my country has done for me. I really don't expect to get much more than I already have. What more should I ask? Do I not have freedom of thought, speech, and religion? Have I not received an education equal to that of the youth of any other nation in the world; perhaps even above that? I am safe and secure in a country with a democratic government, while other countries are engaged in terrible battles. Their families are broken up, brothers and sisters are killed or wound- ed; while I can enjoy pleasant hours with the entire family, without worrying about air raids or night attacks. Who should receive credit for my safety? Why, yes, my country. It has done its share of good for me. I am grateful to it, and I don't expect anything more than I already have. In return for everything my country has done for me, I should like to re- pay it the best way I can. I will take advantage of the privileges granted me, so that I may be better prepared for citizenship in the fu- ture. I will learn as much as possible about the government and how it operates. When I am of age, I will vote for the men and women I think best suited for office in the country. The flag is, and always will be, my emblem I will stand up for my country in time of peace and in time of war. It is, to me, the best coun- try on earth; and I will do my best to keep it so. — 70 — YOU COULDN’T HAVE PICKED A MORE EXCITING YEAR FOR YOUR GRADUATION Congratulations on having achieved an important milestone in your education. And we’re much inclined to congratulate you on picking such an interesting year in which to win your diploma.

A SENIOR NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS Esther Shira RESOLVED: I shall be to school on time, And be in my seat at a quarter of nine And sit up straight as a senior should To show the underclassmen how to be good. RESOLVED: that I shall not play hook; Instead I shall concentrate on a book, And smile at my teacher if she should frown So she'll be kind and not turn me down. And when I take a very hard test She'll mark me up among the best. I'm certain I can keep these resolutions, you know, 'Cause I've only got seven more days to go! THE EVOLUTION OF AN A SENIOR Kenneth Faux Well I remember the day I started to school; I had looked forward to it for months. In a very few days I was very sorry, though, and wished my school days hadn't started. This state of mind persisted until very recently, when I again cultivated my love for school. The first few years had many obstacles to over- come; first, I had to learn to fight if my op- ponent was small, or know the fastest possible shortcut to home if the enemy was larger than I. In those days I became very accurate with an improvised weapon consisting of a rubber band and some tinfoil. I also became acquaint- ed with the proper time to use this instrument. (The proper time is when the teacher isn't looking.) In those early days girls were looked upon as absolutely impossible creatures, and if a pal of mine was seen even looking at one, he was certainly made to pay for it. There were other things some of us had to pay for. When I strain my mind to the n th degree, I can faintly visualize a tool used to administer a form of slow death better known as the spanking. If one survived that, becoming a Senior was still not an over-night jump; it cov- 72 — ered the span of about twelve years. It was a slow and gradual process without a bit of noticeable change in one's life. When a per- son finally becomes an A Senior, he has al- most forgotten about the rubber band and tin- foil; maybe he will only use it once a day or twice on Fridays. Also, he is no longer perse- cuted for talking to a girl; he may even ven- ture to have a date, when he had saved his money for a long time. Fighting is also left be- hind, except when a brawl starts at a football or basketball game. The A Senior semester seems to go twice as fast as the Christmas va- cation did when my hatred for school was at its peak. The evolution of an A Senior is a long step, but I sincerely believe that it is worth it. EXTRA-CURRICULAR Martin Cohn She sat across the aisle from me, Her eyes were blue as blue could be; Her hair was like the ripe corn meal— That golden sunshine of the field. Her lips were like a red, red rose That ever growing, sweeter grows; Her nose was tilted—oh so sweet, I never saw a nicer treat! Her face was like a garden fair, That gets its beauty from the air; Her voice was like some rippling rill, That flows delightsome down a hill; Her hands were my special delight— Dainty as china-ware morn and night; Her forehead fairer than a queen, Her laughter like a bright undine, She had the skin you love to touch— 'Twas like a well-oiled auto clutch! Each morning when I went to school, I wanted to break the golden rule. For I had a rival bold and strong; His name—Sylvester Mawson Long. My love and me he never left, He must have feared I'd stage a theft; He had a big maroon sedan And he was every inch a man. I walked her home from school at noons, He followed, whistling blatant tunes; At four P. M. when school was out, I had to take a paper route! This advantage he did not skip; Away in that sedan they'd zip! Where did they go? I wished I knew! Then one sad day I caught the flu; At last when I got out of bed, I found, alas—they had been wed!

I wracked my brain for an excuse. As he stood there towering over me, I cringed and wept inside with fear. I swallowed, and stam- mered, and just about swooned. Little beads of perspiration stood out on my forehead, and my heart throbbed and hammered till I thought I'd die. What should I say? My dog chewed it up? My brother threw it into the fire? My dad carried it to work? Cosh, I had used all those alibis on the very same person before! Cruel monster! I started to answer, but had to clear my throat three times before a sound escaped my lips. Finally, in a weak, shaky voice, I forgot to do it, I said. Then, instead of a frown, I saw a smile. Ah, ha! I knew I'd catch up with you sometime. I haven't even assigned the term report yet! Did YOU ever have a nightmare? ON CLEANING MY DESK Betty Jane Forrester Let's see, here's Alice's notebook! And Dorothy's fountain pen!

ABE WINS AGAIN Howard Miller Abe Johnson was an honest man Which nobody can deny; And when it came to working hard, That boy could surely fly. He worked his way up to success, With never a pause for rest; At every thing he ever tried He always did his best. — 74 — In spite of all these virtues. He was human after all; The time he didn't accept a dare Nobody could recall. One day a friend approached and said, Now, Abe, you're pretty keen; I've got a wonderful horse at home I'll trade you, sight unseen. So Abe accepted on the spot With never a moment's doubt That he could easily get the best Of the bargain and win out. Straightway the friend made off for home, With a grin o'er all his face, For there tied up secure he knew Was an object of disgrace. No ordinary horse was this; But a mangy crippled nag Which even the glue man had refused— So this deal was in the bag. But Abe was not to be taken in— He never was, of course— For he went straight to the carpenter's And got a wooden horse. The trade was made the very next day In a wide and vacant lot; It was good that it was so indeed, For his friend got pretty hot. A saw horse was the very worst That he could find to trade; But he laughed and said, At last I vow A new record has been made! I MacDONALD ! Gas and Oil Co.

There has been some member of the family in high school continuously from 1914 to 1941. Five were graduated from college, and all of the older eight now fill useful places in the world.

They were beaten by Ellwood City, 7-6. We're afraid the Tornado was just a soft breeze that afternoon compared to what they had been up to this time. Butler then made a comeback by beating Beaver Falls, 13-0. The line was again out- standing. Butler then overpowered New Brighton, 14-7. The boys never really opened up; they just wore the Brightoneers down with sheer power. The Tornado roared through hap- less Kittanning, 53-0. Coach Heinzer could not hold down the score, try as he would. Even the Reserves scored at will. Butler wound up the season with a spectacular 18-14 win over Har-Brack. The boys scored all 18 points in the second quarter and protected this lead the rest of the game. In Willie Campbell, colored halfback, Butler found the toughest back they had faced all season. The team, outside the Kittanning game, never ran up a high score; but the way they won was impressive. Don't be surprised if you see many of the boys of this year's team on bigger college elevens in the near future. They were smooth, but definitely!

LEAVE ON A QUIET CRUISE A Seniors Hold Banquet BUTLER, Pa. — The A Seniors of Butler (Public) Senior High School held their banquet last night at the Greasy Griddle Diner. Transporta- tion was furnished by Chas. Sullivan, who drove his green convertible Ford coupe (Model A-1930). When all guests had arrived, Joe (Manager of the place) started slinging the hash. The dinner consisted of beans, hot dogs, and caviar. As the dinner pro- ceeded, the seniors were entertained by that prince of entertainers, Jack Stauffer, who performed some cute tricks with straws, plates, glass, and silverware. As a finale, he attempt- ed to invert a glass of water with a piece of paper over the top. Jack’s scientific mind noticed the water start- ing to leak out, but by this time it was too late, because the water was all over Sara Louise Browne’s beau- teous new evening gown. This raised quite a riot (And how!). The pro- gram then started, with Nick Galich acting as toastmaster. We were first entertained by a tenor solo by Dmitri Pashkoff. Sam Hilles then enter- tained with a violin solo (?). His selection was Concerto in Asia Minor. About this time the police raided the place, and the party broke up. When Bob Hetrick stooped down to tie his shoe string, 27 pieces of silverware fell out of his pocket. When, he straightened up, his head went through the roof of the diner. Bob, being astonished by the silverware fall- ing our of his pocket yelled, Ruffians, who threw that silverware at me?” Everybody who was at the banquet stated that they had had a wonderful time. SASSIETY COLUMN Mr. and Mrs. Kermit Staaf (the former Eileen Parran), after spending their honeymoon in Saxonburg at the Fireman’s Carnival, have just left for Africa where Mr. Staaf is employed in the Sierra Desert by Sand, Sand, Sand, and Sand, Incorporated, Exclu- sive Distributors of Exclusive Sand. Boys Leave on Cruise BUTLER, Pa. — Six members of the A Senior class of the Butler High School left today for a delightful southern cruise on Sullivan Run, an exquisite stream which connects But- ler with the outside world. In high water Sullivan Run rises to the depth of 1 ft. 6 in. (Flood Stage). The boys left on the good ship Rockeybottom. The craft is commanded by that jovial mariner J. Victor Tud” Hackett. The boys taking the cruise are: Jack Beck, Harvey Boyd, Dick Klugh, Glenn Vendrew, Charles Sullivan (for whom the river is named) and Bill Foster. The boat is powered by 6 egg beaters attached to a diesel engine. We hope the boat holds out and we know the boys will have a good time. P. S. — This column has nothing whatsoever to do with column three. NEWS FLASHES . . . In today’s game, Quick-stepping Quarterback Sam Smith scored 13 touchdowns for Pitt against Elmer- ville. John Regal is lost in the jungles of South America after crashing in his airplane, By-Gone, while trying to fly through a tornado.

RECIPE FOR THE DAY By Mrs. I. M. Baking Some of the girls in the A Senior class of B. H.

Robbery of Local Bank BUTLER, Pa. — At four o’clock this morning one of our local banks (The Federal Foo Trust Co.) was robbed of 50,000. Sut Tatterstall, the night watchman, was subdued by a slight tap on the knob by a brass cuspidor after fighting feverishly for 3 minutes and 57 seconds. The rob- bers broke into the vaults by means of an Ahsaidaline torch. They also broke into some of the private deposit boxes. Some of the losses were: I set of false teeth (with gold lac- quer finish). 1 kazoo (with set of instructions). 2 Wheaties Box Tops. The thieves left evidence which may lead to their arrest. Their finger- prints were found on the cuspidor and on the doors to the vault. A passer- by, Elmer Zilch, happened to notice the robbers running from the bank and piling into their limousine (a model T Ford). The license No. of the car is Pennsylvania 6-5000. Mem- bers of the local bureau of detectives are working hard on this case and they hope to capture the criminals soon. POWDER PUFFS WIN In the annual graduation football festival, the powerful Powder Puffs (the girls of the A Senior Class) de- feated the Terrible Turks (the boys of the same class) by the score of 7-0. The game was held at the Sashay Stadium. The Powder Puffs, coached by Bruiser Bartley, played magnifi- cent ball throughout the game. The line-up for the Powder Puffs was: center, Corkey” Carnahan; guards, Mose” Mincer and Hercules” Husel- ton; tackles, Wilda and Wilda” Double; ends, Captain Swing-along” Stewart and Swifty” Stevenson; quarterback, Zig Zag Zaritsky; half backs Speed” Spina and Slug” Sedoris; last but by no means least, plunging fullback Helen Monk” My- ers.

I want to say that I appreciate these girls’ doing this because I just love to tell about my recipes. This recipe will serve 153. Now to proceed. First take a retort from the Chemis- try Lab, or a reasonable facsimile, and put into it 2 gallons of the very best gradeof H20 from Thornrun Dam. Then mix thoroughly with this 1V2 lbs. of Kritchlow’s Krunchy Ar- senic. When this is mixed, add 1 box of Sing Sing Bird Seed, recommend- ed by Sassone and Co. By now your mixture is beginning to take shape. Now add 2 bottles of the McIntyre Company’s distilled Nitric Acid (HN03); one fishing worm; 1 sack of Porter 6c Co. Plaster of Paris, and 1 hunting license autographed by Dead-shot Ted Turowski. If the State Food Commission hasn’t arrested you by now, you can proceed with the recipe. Add 3 rusty nails from Stan Beblo’s 1938 woodwork project and a Tom Mix telescope (borrowed from Floyd Glass) then stir this mixture vigorously. Now let it stand for two hours and it will be ready to serve. (Please do not serve this to dogs as it gives them mange.) When serving to guests please present each guest with a little card inscribed: Eat at your own risk! Dead men tell no tales.” POWDER PUFFS WIN (Continued from Page 95) Moose” McIntyre; tackles, Passion- ate” PashkofF and Shorty” Long; ends, Zip” Zulik and Tiny” Tur- ner; quarterback, Sizzle” Stepahin; half backs, Theophilus” Tishler and SPORTS By Perry Mutual Flash! A new world’s record for the 100 millimeter run was set by Mil- ord Percival Van Blurrp LVIX, run- ning on a dry track with Swifty Arno- vitz astride her. Horse and jocky to- gether weighted 79% lbs. The time was .000001 sec. flat. At the finish line the horse could only exclaim, Gee, I beat my daddy by eight lengths to the bar.” The Bewildered Bruisers romped over the Prattling Pussies in the famous sesqui-annual Finger Bowl game, 197 to 6.071. The Bruisers are now undisputed champions of the In- ternational Intercollegiate Interde- pendent Craps Shooters League. Slick” Bowling starred for the win- ners with seven ll’s and eleven 7’s in 77 attempts. In the Girls’ Hockey Game at the Flower Gardens, the Daisy Dopes glid- ed over the Heliotrope Hussies easily. Ruth Chambers, athletic captain of the dopes, spent a record time in the penalty box for making a catty re- mark to Emily Swai, captain of the Hussies. Eighty-one delicious items of gossip were enjoyed by all. And now, dear readers, I close leaving you with one important thought: Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. Buzz” Bernstein; and fullback, Nut” Noullet. The game was nip and tuck until the last three seconds of play, when Monk” Myers slashed through tac- kle on an end run (through a hole 9 yards wide) and galloped over the goal line for a touch down. Swifty” Stevenson and Zig Zag” Zaritsky displayed some excellent blocking. The try for the extra point was successful when All American end Stewart made a spectacular leap into the ozone and snared a bullet pass one-handed, shot by Speed” Spina. The game was a thriller all the way through. I THE NIX ON THEATRE ! BRATS FREE IF ACCOMPANIED BY SIX COPS!
